The Malaysian FA (FAM) has announced the granting of club licensing to three more teams for the 2018 season.

Kedah, Melaka United and Kelantan have been cleared to participate in the 2018 Super League, according to a statement released by FAM on Thursday.

The three clubs have had their license applications denied earlier, but have successfully appealed to the FAM Club Licencing Board Appeal Board last Friday.

But the association clarified that the licences granted to them are only the FAM licence and not one granted by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which permits participation in the 2018 AFC Champions League or AFC Cup.

In the first round of application, seven out of 12 2017 Super League clubs have been granted a licence; Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), Pahang, Perak, PKNS, Pulau Pinang, Selangor and T-Team FC.

And out of the seven, four have received the AFC licence; JDT, Pahang, PKNS, and Selangor.

The statement added that Felda United and Sarawak have not been granted a licence, for failure to fulfill one of the requirements of the application; finances.
